GameMaker is also a very capable 2D engine that you can use for free until you want to export, by which time you can get a subscription less than a cup of coffee.
Plenty of other engines beyond unity, no matter the game you want to make.
Or GameMaker if you are doing a 2d game, or Unreal if you don’t mind the learning curve. Plenty of other options beyond Unity.
DS3 literally starts with a boss that is quite challenging if you’re not used to DS already. Just “here is a sword, here is how to swing it, here is a bear of a man with an oozing snake hand - kill him”. A lot of players bounced off him.
Fromsoft isn’t in the business of making easy games, it’s just different variations of challenging. For people that like that it’s great. For a lot of people that very understandably is a turn off.
Been a long-time souls fan, but AC was before my time so I never got into it. Picked AC6 up last night and am having a blast so far!
I personally am a fan of jet-lagged, the game. Sam, Ben, and Adam from wendover productions/Half as interesting compete in various travel-based games across the world.

I’m Icelandic. The water is potable straight from the tap: no filtration or boiling required, albeit the hot water may smell a bit of sulfur due to being heated with geothermal energy.
Kind of like how “Millennial” for a while meant ‘teenager’ despite the oldest Millennial being 40.
